FAQs

What are year-end accounts?

Year-end accounts are formal financial reports that summarise a company’s performance over its accounting period. They provide key insights, such as profitability, assets, and liabilities. You may hear them referred to as statutory accounts.

Who needs to prepare year-end accounts?

Year-end accounts are mandatory for all limited companies in the UK and partnerships registered with Companies House. There are slightly different requirements depending on the size of the company, and whether it’s active or dormant. We can advise if you’re unsure.

What if I'm a sole trader?

Sole traders are not required to file annual accounts. However, you should still keep detailed accounting records (including records of sales and expenses), and report on your financial performance as part of an annual self-assessment tax return.

Can you help with tax planning?

Yes. Alongside preparing your annual accounts, we can provide tailored advice on corporation tax planning to minimise liabilities and maximise opportunities.

What happens if I miss the deadline?

Late submission of your annual accounts can result in penalties from HMRC and Companies House. We ensure your accounts are prepared and submitted on time to avoid fines.

Can I prepare my own year-end accounts?

Yes, it is possible to prepare and submit year-end accounts on your own. There’s no legal requirement to use an accountant. However, it can be easy to get something wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing, potentially leading to a fine or penalty. That’s why most choose to work with a qualified accountant instead.
